Jim Crow Laws

Imagine that you are a teenager, and you're ready to go to high school. You really want to go to high school and maybe even college because you enjoy learning and want to get a good job in the future.

But there's a problem. You live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and the only school in the area won't allow you to attend because of the color of your skin.

There are dozens of scenarios I could ask you to imagine about what it was like to be black in the Jim Crow South. I could ask you to think about going to a movie with friends, only to be shut out because the only theater in town is whites-only. I could ask you to imagine traveling to a new town, only to discover that none of the hotels or motels would allow you to check in. What if you were on the road and starving but couldn't eat at any restaurants?

For the first century after the American Civil War, Jim Crow laws, or segregation laws, sprang up in the South. These laws kept power in the hands of whites, while keeping black Americans from being able to get the same benefits of society as their neighbors.

Of all the places that the Jim Crow laws hurt African Americans, perhaps the most poignant was in the education system, where millions of children were shut out of a good education because of the color of their skin. Let's look closer at how the Jim Crow laws impacted American education.

Separate & Unequal

Even when the Jim Crow laws were being enacted, many people (including white people) felt that they were not fair. They believed that blacks and whites should have equal access to opportunity.

So how did the Jim Crow laws manage to be passed if many people believed that everyone should be equal? The phrase 'separate but equal' was a common refrain in the Jim Crow South. Proponents of the laws said that they provided equal opportunities for everyone, though in separate quarters.

Of course, that was not true at all. In education, for example, black schools received on average far less money than white schools. Because of that, school conditions were vastly different. White school buildings were maintained far better than black school buildings, and white classrooms were less crowded. White schools could afford to pay for the best educators.

Some black schools even had inequality of materials. In some places, black schools were not allowed to use textbooks with the Constitution or Declaration of Independence in them, because the white school boards feared that would lead to black students wanting equality and freedom.

And that was just the inequalities between the students who had access to school at all. Remember when I asked you to imagine that you wanted to go to school but couldn't because the only school in your area was all-white? Sadly, this was true for many people.

After the Civil War, most African Americans in the South lived in rural areas. Those small towns and farming communities could often only afford to support one school, and so the only school offered was whites-only. For many blacks, that meant that the only black school available to them was too far away for them to attend.

Rosenwald Schools

Amongst all the depressing news about education in the Jim Crow South, there is one bright spot. It started in 1912, with a collaboration between millionaire Julius Rosenwald, who was the head of Sears Roebuck & Company, and Booker T. Washington, a famous black educator.

Dorothea Lange: Grab A Hunk of Lightning

Premiere date: August 29, 2014 | 0:01:45

When she was in her early twenties, Dorothea Lange decided to leave New York City and travel the world with a friend. They only made it as far as San Francisco, where a pickpocket stole all their money and ended their world travels.

Lange had already learned photography through her apprenticeship to photographer Arthur Genthe in New York City. In 1919 at the age of 24, she opened her own portrait studio in San Francisco. She worked many solitary hours there but her studio also became a place where artists came to socialize.

Of her early work as a portrait photographer, Lange said, "I did all the work myself. It was a successful studio. But I worked 18 hours, 20 hours, every day. I really worked. I was determined that I could make that go. And I did."

What Are Jim Crow Laws?

Imagine what it was like to be a Southern slave living during the Civil War Era. Your hopes were aroused with Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. Even so, because you lived in the Confederate States of America, your master could care less about Lincoln's executive order. But at last, after two more long years, you experienced elation as the South surrendered to Union forces. At long last, you were free!

Yet. . . as you made your way in this strange new world, everywhere you encountered local laws intended to prevent you from succeeding in life. These laws restricted the freedom you thought you had attained. True, you were no longer a slave, but under some of these laws you weren't free either.

These laws were called Jim Crow laws. Okay, but who was Jim Crow? Even before the Civil War took place, the term Jim Crow was derogatory slang for 'negro.' It is believed that the origin of the term dates back to the 1820s or so when a white comedian wrote a song and dance called 'Jump Jim Crow' about a disabled slave. Soon the term caught on and, by the outbreak of the Civil War, was a common nickname for black slaves and free African-Americans.

Jim Crow laws existed primarily between the end of the Civil War to the mid-1960s. They took many forms and varied considerably by locale, but segregation and discrimination were common themes. Let's learn more about Jim Crow laws.

After the Civil War

The immediate aftermath of the Civil War is called Reconstruction, or the Reconstruction Era, which took place between 1865 and 1877. Southern Democrats were particularly active in passing Jim Crow laws in the aftermath of the Civil War. There was widespread resentment because the North had won the war and slaves were now free.

To maintain white dominance and keep free blacks from gaining affluence, they legislated varieties of Jim Crow laws. Many Jim Crow laws had to do with voting. For example, the ability to read was often held as voting requirement, and it was previously forbidden for slaves to read. Land ownership was also a requirement in certain areas. These requirements were intended to prevent black Americans from voting and thus gaining political power. By the turn of the century, arbitrary requirements effectively barred black males from voting.

Segregation was another key component of Jim Crow laws. Segregation refers to the policy of keeping black and white Americans separate from one another. For example, this would involve separate drinking foundations for blacks and whites, separate bathrooms, schools, libraries, etc. Typically, the black facility was inferior due to a lack of funding and a lack of interest by the mainstream white community. In parts of Texas, for example, zoning ordinances kept black and white residents from living in the same area.

In 1875, the Enforcement Act, or the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was passed by 'Radical Republicans' in an effort to end Jim Crow laws. Unfortunately, the act was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1883.

In the 20th Century

With the Supreme Court's apparent sanctioning of racism in 1883, Jim Crow laws thrived well into the 20th century. On occasion they were challenged, as was the case in the 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson. In this case Homer Plessy, an African-American, took a seat in a 'white only' section of a train and refused to move. The Supreme Court ruled that 'separate but equal' segregation was, in fact, constitutional. This ruling led to another seventy years of Jim Crow laws.
